Credit Agreement

On October 28, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a $125,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Facility includes a $50,000 accordion amount and has an initial term of five years. HSBC Bank USA, National Association is the administrative agent, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the sole lead arranger and sole book runner, and Keybank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association are co-syndication agents.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to terms defined in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR Rate plus a margin of 1.00% to 2.25% or the Prime Rate plus a margin of 0% to 1.25%, in each case depending on the Company’s ratio of total funded indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (the “Total Leverage Ratio”). At June 30, 2017, the applicable margin for LIBOR Rate borrowings was 1.75% and the applicable margin for Prime Rate borrowings was 0.75%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of between 0.10% and 0.25% quarterly (currently 0.175%) on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, also based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio.

The Credit Agreement contains certain financial covenants related to minimum interest coverage and total leverage ratio at the end of each quarter. The Credit Agreement also includes other covenants and restrictions, including limits on the amount of additional indebtedness, and restrictions on the Company’s ability to merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2017.
